Question
The newborn was diagnosed with neonatal hypoxemia-ischemic encephalopathy two hours after birth due to difficulty breathing. The brain CT value was 13, and the child received intravenous fluid therapy for 14 days. At one month, the CT value was 12, but the clinical response was good.
Answer
Neonatal hypoxemia-ischemic encephalopathy refers to acute or chronic brain tissue damage caused by insufficient cerebral blood perfusion and oxygen deficiency. It is commonly seen in situations such as sudden respiratory and cardiac arrest, shock, carbon monoxide poisoning, persistent epilepsy, and severe myasthenia gravis. Neonatal brain damage is mainly related to perinatal asphyxia. The main treatment methods include lowering intracranial pressure and nourishing brain cells. Early treatment tends to have a better prognosis than late treatment. Later on, it is important to strengthen rehabilitation exercises. Continue to observe.
